One of the reasons I’ve always enjoyed taking part in crime festivals is that not only do I relish the company of fellow crime writers, I am fascinated by the nature of the crime writing life. But I never forgot that conversation with Andrew. I liked the idea of writing a book of my own about the genre, but my thinking was vague. I’d written plenty of articles about the genre as well as reviews and I’d contributed essays to several reference books. In those long ago days, I kept a card index with notes on favorite books, authors, and topics. Yet I’ve been a fan of the genre for as long as I’ve wanted to be a crime novelist. My career as a crime novelist was still in its early stages and it made sense to prioritize fiction. At that time, I liked the idea, but it seemed like a pipe-dream.
